Background to Simpler recycling

Skip to contents of guide

In October 2023, the government launched ‘Simpler recycling’, a programme that aims to make recycling easier for every home and business in England.

This was in response to a consultation about recycling. You can read the full response to the consultation on GOV.UK.

People across England will be able to recycle the same materials, whether at home, work or school, putting an end to confusion over what can and can’t be recycled in different parts of the country.
